Lagos is the most vibrant city in Nigeria. It’s seductive
charms are legendary, and for good reason.
Inviting cafes and lounges, lustrous boutiques, top notch
museums, and an impressive restaurant scene make
Lagos the runway model of Nigerian cities—beautiful,
fashionable, confident, and inspiring envy at every turn.
However, its size and scope can make it a challenge and
sometimes, you are faced with certain experiences that
make you wonder at a traveler’s love with such an elusive
town




1. Skip your fare in a bus

Taking public transport, including the Moluwe and Danfo
buses, may be the cheap option of transportation in
Lagos, but it is not free.
A fare is usually required and it is important you ensure
you have enough cash to settle the transport fee before
jumping on the bus. While it might be tempting to skip
your bus fare, either because you think the conductor
will not notice or you believe you can come up with a
story touching enough to make them waive the fare,
don’t do it. The public embarrassment and possible
physical harm will not be worth it.
Some fare-jumpers have found themselves spending
quality time at the hospital, treating wounds inflicted on
them for trying to play hooky.


2. Put Your Wallet in Your Back Pocket

While most Lagosians are nice and helpful there are
always folks looking to take advantage of unsuspecting
tourists (and locals!). Never place your wallet in your
back pocket, as you are bound to lose it – sometimes
without even knowing.
Be smart, use common sense and keep an eye on your
wallet is , particularly when you’re in crowded places
such as Obalande, Oshodi and Balogun market.


3. Flash cash around

Whether it’s when paying for things on the street,
counting your money or taking out a wad of cash and
then asking the waiter how to figure out the bill, flashing
cash is never a good move in Lagos.
The Nigerian currency is not hard to figure out. Always
keep a running tally in your head so you do not have to
whip out your cash and start counting; this will also
protect you from thieves.


4. Try to cut in line

With so many amazing things to do in Lagos, sooner or
later you are going to have to wait in a line. Whether
you’re queuing up to snag rush movie tickets, trying to
grab a meal at a popular eatery or waiting to use an ATM
in a shopping mall, you are going to have to wait along
with everyone else.
If you stealthily try to make it to the front, you will be
caught and blessed with the wrath of a crowd of scary,
impatient Lagosians…and this is not something you want
to deal with.


5. Taste street food with no intention to buy

In some part of the country, street vendors will
encourage you to have a taste of what they are selling,
even if they know you may not end up buying.
Some people actually eat to their fill by tasting street
food from numerous vendors. However, in Lagos, if you
are going to taste it, you better be prepared to pay for a
portion, even if it is as small as NGN50 worth. Most street
vendors will reign insults and curses on you, while some
other will take a step further and cause an embarrassing
scene if you refuse to make a purchase.

6. Pay a hawker before collecting the
purchase

Despite the ban by the state government, the traffic in
Lagos ensures that there are hawkers lurking around to
meet the needs of stressed and tired commuters.
If you are looking to buy anything from a hawker, never
give them the cash before you receive the item as there is
a huge chance they will disappear with your cash and the
item. Also, if they need to give you some change after
purchase, do not hand them the cash. Instead, ask them
to return with the change you need before you make the
purchase.


7. Compare Lagos with life elsewhere

This applies mostly to visitors. Do not spend time
comparing things in Lagos to things in other cities in the
country or even around the world. Do not complain that
it is crowded and there is traffic almost on every street or
that you come from an area with cheaper transportation.
It is just rude to say where you come from is better than
Lagos – so why did you visit? Things are DIFFERENT in
Lagos. The sooner you learn and accept this, the more
enjoyable your stay will be.
